About
I'm currently balancing my studies with working as a Software Engineer at a small tech company, where I build web apps using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and SQL Server.
While web development is my day-to-day, my true passion lies under the hood. I love making games and diving into low-level, high-performance programming where every millisecond counts.
When I step away from the keyboard, you can usually find me cooking up something new, reading a good book, or playing the games that inspire me to build my own.
Experience
Software Engineer
Helped a traditional classifieds newspaper transition to a digital platform.
I managed database records by defining and mapping the necessary properties and data types for various listing categories.
On the product side, I drove UI/UX decisions by selecting key properties to act as search filters and designing their frontend placement. I also maintained location hierarchies in SQL Server and implemented a dynamic templating feature that automatically concatenates user-selected properties to generate standardized listing descriptions.
Finally, I conducted functional and visual testing across the platform, categorizing and reporting bugs to ensure a smooth user experience.
Projects
This Website
Built entirely from scratch without UI frameworks like Bootstrap or Tailwind to showcase my frontend fundamentals. It features a fully responsive custom layout, a dynamic JavaScript scroll spy, a bespoke bilingual translation engine, and modern CSS interactions like glassmorphism and dynamic focus states.
Self Hosting a VPS
Provisioned and administer a remote Linux-based Hetzner Cloud VPS to host my web applications and a private Forgejo instance for CI/CD pipelines. The entire infrastructure is containerized using Docker Compose, with Nginx configured as a reverse proxy for secure network routing and traffic management.
